Having played cricket at a high standard from an early age, Dan Housego founded Dan Housego Cricket Coaching in 2009 to help aspiring young cricketers reach their potential in the game. Using his years of experience as a professional cricketer (2006-2014), having played with successful international players such as Andrew Strauss, Adam Gilchrist, Muttiah Murilitharan, Eoin Morgan and many others, Dan dedicates his time to coaching, where he passes his knowledge on to cricketers of all ages and skill levels through DHCC. Having originally focused on one-to-one sessions, Dan expanded his services to Masterclasses, Group Sessions, Cricket Camps and Birthday parties, through schools and local cricket clubs where he has made a positive impact on individuals and teams alike.

"I have seen firsthand the time and effort Dan has put into getting the most out of himself as a player and a coach. His work ethic and desire to improve, is up there with the best I have played with. He has an excellent grasp of the game of cricket, and also has the ideal temperament to become a first rate cricket coach".
"I would highly recommend anyone to use Dan for coaching. He was, during my time at Middlesex, the most dedicated and committed cricketer a captain could ask for. His fitness was exemplary and his attitude too. His all round fielding skills were unbelievable and a joy to watch and couple this with a god given ability with the bat and you have a truly exceptionally talented cricketer. He has gone on to do well at his new club Gloucestershire and I'm sure that will continue to be the case. I have no doubt his coaching clinics will be a success".
"Dan is a hard-working, dedicated and talented player and coach. He is passionate about the game and it is this, combined with an enthusiastic yet calm demeanour, which helps him forge such excellent working relationships with the players in his charge. Several seasons playing professional cricket in England with Middlesex and Gloucestershire County Cricket Clubs respectively, and winters spent playing in Australia, have given Dan invaluable experience and, as a result, he possesses an excellent technical and tactical understanding of the game. Dan is an extremely personable young man and I recommend him wholeheartedly to work on, and improve, your game".
Dan has the reputation as one of the best cricket coaches in the area. Everyone with a high standard wants to be coached by him because he is brilliant. My son, a county player, came back to cricket after an injury and out of form and in just one session Dan had turned his batting round and restored his confidence by noticing the problems and tweaking them. Dan is very good with adolescent boys and makes their batting ability and confidence soar. He has a very calm, wise and helpful manner - well worth every penny! Thoroughly recommend.
Victoria Hoare Nairne"Dan has a wonderful rapport with the boys and his one to one coaching has helped them all enormously. He really understands the fundamentals of batting and more importantly, he can communicate this to the boys to empower them to make subtle, yet significant improvements. He is very calm and patient and was a hugely valuable coaching asset to Moulsford Preparatory School.
Mark Griffiths - Moulsford Prep School Head of Sport"The camp was fantastic! My son enjoyed it. All the coaches and staff are so professional. Will most definitely book again."
Jacqueline Burke - Wokingham CC Parent"I have three boys at Wellington College and Dan has coached all of them for the past 4 years. Dan has the unique ability to get the most out of a player, regardless of how quiet and shy they are. His ability to build rapport with my boys is the best I have seen in coaching and I couldn't recommend him enough. Just a shame he is a Chelsea fan lol"
David Huggins - Wellington College School Parent"Dan has a unique ability allowing him to identify an individual's batting technique, pin-pointing aspects of a person's game through a granular analysis. Bringing these small details together, Dan is able to aide significantly in the development of a cricketer's game. Having played at the highest level, gaining vast experience, he is able to help with both physical and mental preparation in game situations, an attribute, which for me, is priceless. Dan is a truly excellent coach & a fantastic player, but above all a very personable guy. He is highly recommended."
